Xu Dalong thought carefully. He knew that Chu Yunfei and his family would eventually go to Moss Bay. He opened an account for Chu Yun'er through Bob's Citibank in New York, and the money could be transferred to the United States at any time. With this money, Chu Yun'er can live a wealthy life in the United States for the rest of her life.
After settling all this, Xu Dalong's heart truly felt at ease.
On this day, the communications director of the Zhongtiaoshan Command came to the Mawushan Military Division. After meeting Xu Dalong, he handed over General Fu's personal letter to him.
The main content of the letter is to purchase a batch of wireless telegraph phones from the arsenal of the Mawushan Military Division.
Xu Dalong came to Zhao Gang and asked him about the production capacity of wireless telegraph phones in the arsenal.
Zhao Gang is very attentive and knows everything about the base area.
He said with some embarrassment: "General Fu and the others didn't say hello in advance. The orders for wireless telegraph phones are already fully booked. I'm afraid it will be difficult to arrange them in a short time."
Xu Dalong said: "General Fu is an old friend of ours. He has been of great help to us since the Anti-Japanese War. We must give priority to meeting their demands. I will go and communicate with Mr. Si Ling and Minister Zhang. For other orders, go to It was later delayed for half a month, and all the wireless telegraph phones produced during this half month were given to General Fu.
Arrangements were made for people in the arsenal to work two extra hours every day. Those who participated in overtime work were paid more overtime pay, and all the wireless telegraph phones produced were paid to the generals and others. "
Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
The communications director of Zhongtiao Mountain was very moved after hearing this and expressed his gratitude to Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang.
He said: "Brother, before I came here, General Fu had already told me. If you are in trouble, you can increase the price of the wireless telegraph phone appropriately. Now that you think about it for us, we are willing to increase it by 20% from your normal price. .”
Xu Dalong shook his head and said: "General Fu and the brothers from Zhongtiao Mountain have really helped our Eighth Route Army so much. How can we care about the price? Not only can we not add money to this batch of walkie-talkies, we will also give it to the outside world." The sales price will be reduced by 10% for you."
The director of the Communications Division was very moved and said: "I have long known that Chief Xu is a righteous man. On behalf of the Zhongtiao Mountain Command and General Fu, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Chief Xu and the brothers of the Eighth Route Army!"
The director of the communications department brought the radio with him when he came. After leaving Xu Dalong's office, he returned to the reception office and hurriedly reported the contents of today's conversation with Xu Dalong to General Fu.
General Fu felt that he was very dignified and said to the Chief of Staff with emotion: "Brother Dalong is so loyal. He is the best friend I have ever made in my life."
The chief of staff was also very happy and said: "Sir, you are right. Brother Dalong is really a good person."
After seeing off the Director of Communications, Xu Dalong said: "In the future, our wars will become bigger and bigger, and the status of military production will become more and more prominent. My opinion is that the scale of the arsenal will be further expanded. The factory is built in a mountainous area, and various conditions All are subject to restrictions, and the cost of production will increase accordingly.
Now that our troops are strong and strong, we don’t have to worry about the Japanese army coming to sabotage us. I think we might as well move the arsenal here to the county seat. "
Zhao Gang has no objections. He also hopes to expand the arsenal.
He said: "I agree with this opinion. However, for the sake of safety, the arsenal in the mountains will continue to be retained. Let's build a new arsenal on the edge of the county."
Xu Dalong felt that Zhao Gang had considered it more thoughtfully and said, "Then let's do it. Discuss it with the people in the factory. The new arsenal must be larger. It can not only meet the needs of our entire Taiyue Military Region, but also provide support to other units of the Eighth Route Army. Supply. Don’t think about the cost of building the factory, the various equipment and raw materials required, leave these things to me."
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "This is what I like to hear the most. Don't worry, as long as you can get money and supplies, I will take care of everything else. But let's make an agreement first. The funds cannot be included in our original expenses.”
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "You are becoming more and more like a broker now. You always make conditions for everything you do."
Zhao Gang smiled and said, "You don't blame me for that. It was you who proposed the new arsenal. If you don't get money and supplies, what will I use to build it? Haha."
Xu Dalong said: "You draft a report, and I will go to the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters and report to Commander S."
Early the next morning, Xu Dalong took a plane to the Taihang Mountain base area. Before leaving, he also sent a telegram to Zhang Wanhe, and they both arrived at the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters almost at the same time.
Xu Dalong first said that giving priority to providing wireless telegraph phones to General Zhongtiaoshan Fu and others. Both Ling Yuan and Zhang Wanhe expressed no objections and asked Xu Dalong to look at the arrangements.
Then Xu Dalong reported on the expansion of the arsenal in the Mawushan base area.
Today, the arsenal of the Mawushan Military Division is the largest arsenal of the Eighth Route Army. After listening to Xu Dalong's report, Zhang Wanhe's eyes shone and he said: "Brother Dalong, according to your idea, the expanded arsenal will probably be the largest in our country. Once completed, it will be able to supply almost the entire Eighth Route Army. From now on, our troops will no longer have to worry about weapons and ammunition."
Officer Sling felt very excited and said: "Of course I have no objection to this, but if you want to build such a large-scale arsenal, there will be many difficulties. You must be fully mentally prepared."
Xu Dalong said: "Please rest assured, chief, we will definitely be able to complete the task of expanding the arsenal."
Both the commander and the chief of staff trust Xu Dalong's abilities. They all expressed strong support.
After returning to the Mawushan Military Division, Xu Dalong and others held a special meeting. He first conveyed the instructions of Si Lingyu and Zhang Wanhe on the expansion of the arsenal, saying that Zhao Gang was solely responsible for this matter.
Li Yunlong's mission is to send troops to attack enemy-occupied areas and seize Japanese and puppet property.
Monk Wei's special operations brigade also set a task to seize all the funds needed to expand the arsenal within two months.
Sending troops to fight and rob the property of the Japanese and puppets was what Li Yunlong liked to do the most. After hearing this, he was very happy. He waved his hand and said, "Brother Dalong, Lao Zhao, just wait and see. I will study the battle plan with Da Biao in a while."
Monk Wei has been following Xu Dalong and is familiar with robbing Japanese and puppet property. He also said very easily that he was determined to complete the task.
Xu Dalong was very happy. He believed in the abilities of Li Yunlong and Monk Wei. In less than two months, the funds and property they robbed should be enough to expand the arsenal, and there should be some surplus. He immediately expressed his gratitude to Li Yunlong and Monk Wei.
Zhao Gang is a diligent person. Now he is the chief steward of the military division. All aspects of affairs are complicated and intricate, but he handles them in an orderly manner, so he has very little time to rest every day.
As living conditions continue to improve, Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others have all become fatter than before, but Zhao Gang has lost a lot of weight, and wrinkles have begun to appear at a young age.
Xu Dalong proposed that Lin Yiyun be transferred to serve as Zhao Gang's life secretary. Lin Yiyun would still maintain her military position and be promoted normally in the Eighth Route Army, which would not affect her own future.
Zhao Gang didn't want to be special. Xu Dalong and Li Yunlong insisted that he do so, and Zhao Gang had no choice but to agree.
For more than a month, Xu Dalong stayed in the base area and handled some daily affairs.
On this day, Xu Dalong received a telegram from the military command headquarters, saying that he had something to ask Xu Dalong for help.
The thing is like this. After the Pacific War broke out, the Japanese army occupied the concessions of Britain, the United States and other countries in China, and confiscated a large number of their assets. Among them, the U.S. Consulate General in Nanjing was stored in a safe at JPMorgan Chase Bank in Shanghai. of large quantities of valuables. The United States entrusted military commanders to help them seize these supplies.
Today's Nanjing Military Police Headquarters is stationed in the office building of JPMorgan Chase Bank. The place is heavily guarded and military control cannot succeed. Recently, the military commander has heard rumors that this batch of supplies will be shipped back to the island country.
The military commanders really had no confidence that they would be able to recapture this batch of supplies before then. The United States exerted tremendous pressure on the military commander through the upper echelons of the Guofu government.
The military boss was helpless, so he thought of Xu Dalong and his special forces team, so he sent a telegram to Xu Dalong, asking for support. The boss also specifically said that not only would the military commanders be grateful to Xu Dalong for this matter, but he himself would also be grateful to Xu Dalong.
The reason why he emphasized this point was because if this task could not be completed, the higher-ups in the government would not be able to explain it to the Americans. As the specific executor, he has no way to explain to the upper management of Guofu, which will have a great impact on his personal future.
Xu Dalong still has a good relationship with several big guys in the military command. Since they ask for help, Xu Dalong is very willing to lend a helping hand.
Besides, the Eighth Route Army still needs help from military commanders on some matters.
Xu Dalong sent a telegram to the commander of the army, asking for permission to help the military command recover these valuables.
Officer Si Ling trusted Xu Dalong very much and knew that he acted appropriately, so he did not raise any questions, but only reminded him to pay attention to safety.
After Xu Dalong obtained the consent of Commander Sling, he took Wei Monk, Zhu Guangming and a detachment of special forces members and set off for Chongqing.
After Xu Dalong and others left the county, they first came to the airport and moved a batch of supplies onto the truck in the airport warehouse.
This batch of supplies was purchased by Xu Dalong from the United States through Bob and others, including electric fans, refrigerators (refrigerators already existed in this era), hair dryers and other electrical equipment, as well as other high-end living supplies. These things were specially prepared by him for Chu Yun'er. He considered that Chu Yun'er's living conditions in the mine were difficult, and he didn't want Chu Yun'er to suffer, so he asked someone to buy these daily necessities from the United States. This time he happened to be heading to Chongqing, so he sent it to her by the way.
After arriving in Chongqing, Xu Dalong did not go to visit Chu Yun'er directly because he was about to perform a mission for the military commander.
In order to prevent Chu Yun'er from worrying about him, he sent someone to deliver the batch of daily necessities to Chu Yun'er without telling her that he had come to Chongqing.
Xu Dalong planned to visit her again when he came back after completing the mission.
This batch of supplies was quickly delivered to Chu Yun'er. Seeing how thoughtful Xu Dalong was for her, she felt warm in her heart, so she sent a telegram to Xu Dalong to express her gratitude to him.
After Xu Dalong arrived in Chongqing, the military command quietly arranged for him to stay in a hotel for the sake of safety and confidentiality.
Xu Dalong did not go to the military command headquarters. The boss sent You Yukun to meet Xu Dalong, told Xu Dalong the whole story, and appointed Lin Zhongmin, who had performed missions with Xu Dalong, to accompany him to Nanjing.
The military command made careful arrangements, and Xu Dalong and others passed through the Japanese-occupied area smoothly and arrived at the outskirts of Nanjing.
After receiving the telegram, Li Zhiguo, chief of the Nanjing Station of the Military Command, and Xiao Haiyang, captain of the action team, came to meet with Xu Dalong and others.
Li Zhiguo, the commander of the Nanjing Station of the Military Command, is about 40 years old. He is not tall, has a strong body, and looks mature and steady.
Xiao Haiyang, the captain of the action team, is tall and burly, with a tough temperament all over his body. Both of them were transferred from other military command stations a year ago, and they had never met Xu Dalong. Both of them had heard of Xu Dalong for a long time.
The so-called name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Xu Dalong has great military exploits. Although the two of them saw that Xu Dalong was young, they did not mean to despise him at all, and their attitude towards Xu Dalong was very enthusiastic.
After the greetings, Li Zhiguo and Xiao Haiyang introduced the relevant situation to Xu Dalong, Lin Zhongmin and others.
The military command Nanjing Station is still very capable. They have already mastered the exact time of the Japanese army's delivery of this batch of materials, as well as the escort's troop strength and other details. But there was no way to start.
Nanjing's airport is only a 25-minute drive from Nanjing city. There are open areas along the way. If you want to intercept halfway, it is difficult to choose an ambush location. Even if it can be forcibly intercepted, once the Japanese army is alerted, the Japanese army will quickly encircle it, and it will be difficult for the personnel responsible for the interception to escape. Even if it can be intercepted quietly on the way, the Japanese army responsible for the escort will attack the Japanese army after they arrive at the airport. The military police headquarters reported that there was something wrong with this batch of supplies within 35 minutes at most after the Japanese troops left the city in their vehicles.
There are simply too many Japanese and puppet troops in this area of Nanjing. They can quickly form a circle in a large area, and the personnel responsible for intercepting are still unable to escape.
After introducing the situation, Li Zhiguo shook his head helplessly and said: "The time to complete the interception mission and evacuate is only 15 minutes at most. In such a short time, there is no way to complete the mission."
Xiao Haiyang also shook his head. After hearing this, Lin Zhongmin also frowned.
